Hello All
Ive been looking at several 140s that have been advertised for sale. A number are the original FI (D-Jet I believe). Some have been converted to carbs either Weber or SUs. Obviously, the carbs are simpler and probably more reliable and parts seem to be more easily obtained.

Since the oldest Volvo FI system is now in the neighborhood of 40 yrs old, what is the parts availability like? Does the FI system approach the reliability of the carb options?

Thanks for your help on this.
Bob
